Nanocube for a frag tank

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any expercience with using a nanocube for a frag tank?? I wish to one day have full garage systems like you all and to make 10,000 gal frag stations, however I am still in med school living in a 1bd room apt. So I gotta stay small. Let me know what you think.
What is the bescube/lighting/flow etc
thanks

You can use anything you want for a frag tank...even a 5 gallon bucket It really depends on what you want to grow my man.

A nanocube would be fine, but why spend a lot on a cube, just get a 10 gallon tank and save a little and invest it in a nano skimmer and some powerheads and filtration devices...that's what I would do anyway if I were in your situation...Good luck

"Cubes" look cool, but I agree, a frag tank should be shallow and well lit, good flow, and easy access. A 20L with the end sectioned off for filtration would probably be cheaper and easier.
